Rise more slowly? Debatable. It would run slightly cooler, yes if anything after adding the thermostat delete kit from PPE.
PPE makes a larger front aux cooler which they "claim" will lower temps 45 degrees but I have not used it.
IMO, especially in cold states, I would not want to mess with the first cooler, the oil to water one. Cold states, you want heat in the transmission for it to shift properly, and you don't want moisture in the ATF.
Ideal temps for automatic transmissions to do their job the best is 175-220F. Hotter than 220F you start heading towards fluid degradation and shortened fluid life/service intervals. 240F can start varnishing things like the fluid, clutches, etc.
FYI, I used sq body headers on my 72 and they were a perfect fit with zero clearance issues with the rods and Z bar for the clutch
I agree with post on worn mount rubber
I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.
There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.
On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.
Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭
Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹
